(Spectrum News NY) Among the 14 forms filed Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission are two amendments that show Santos is no longer claiming the $500,000 he loaned his campaign last March and $125,000 he loaned it last October as “personal funds.” Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United, told NY1 there is much to investigate in Santos’ finances. “This all appears to be a money-laundering game to skirt the campaign finance laws, to enrich himself,” Muller said. “The people it hurts the most, are the people of New York,” she added. End Citizens United and other watchdog groups earlier this month filed complaints to the FEC urging that it look into where Santos got the funds and how he spent them. In a NY1 review of Santos’ public financial records, it shows a winding map of how he moved money around.
